I don't know why I can't get these.
I am supposed to simplify this:
\(\displaystyle \log_{10} 11 \ \cdot\ \log_{11} 12\ \cdot\ \cdot\ \cdot\ \log_{998} 999\ \cdot\ \log_{999} 1000\)
According to the back of the book it's 3, and I'm sure there is some ingenious method of getting there without actually doing all of that, but I can't see it.
